On the 19th September 2013, Cafe Mambo will be hosting a truly unique event for the second year running. Mambo In The Mix is an event that they put on to support the Red Cross in Ibiza and Formentera.

The event aims to raise a lot of money for charity which is a great thing but in order to raise this money, the guys at Cafe Mambo’s put on something special.

For one day only, Mabo mixes it up, the public can have the opportunity to provide the music and Dj in Mambos Dj booth, and the Dj’s server the drinks!

Last year saw the likes of Carl Cox, Armin Van Buuren and Seth Troxler (to name a few) all put a shift in serving food and drinks. Its an opportunity to get a little closer to the Dj’s and even catch a word with them as your ordering your drink

If your In Ibiza next week, then please go down, buy a drink, make a donation, think about how much money your going to spend each day while your away, and then maybe think about the people who will benefit from money you would probably never miss.

This has to be the best lineup ive seen to a night ive never heard of that’s located in a back room of a club, ok, so its the back room of Privilege, but this lineup is great.

The night is called The Arena, and its in Vista Club, which is located in the back right hand corner of privilege if you go through the main entrance. Dj’s to be performing include:

2 Many Dj’s

Dj Sneak

Erol Alkan

Fake Blood

Umek

Thursday night is a big night in Ibiza with some massive nights and Dj’s hogging the limelight which is why only part of Privilege is open on Thursdays this year. IUf you fancy going against the grain on a Thursday this year, i dont think you could go far wrong with the Dj’s lined up for this night.

The summer season is at its height now in Ibiza and today i have a great set for our latest Ibiza Blog Sessions.

Manchester’s underground music scene is excellent at the moment and Ronson is responsible for part of its great success. Ronson is the former founder of Xpansion in Manchester and has teamed up with Sequential Records owner Jay Cosgrove to start up a new project Bocuma, which is due to launch this bank holiday Sunday, i also managed to catch a few words with him.

Hi Ronson thanks for doing a mix for us, the last mix of yours i listened too had Golden Girls Kinetic in it, which is probably one of my favourite tunes that reminds me of the very first time i went to Ibiza!

For the people who haven’t heard you, how would you describe your style?
A fine mix of deep and tech sounds… I have many inspirations from all genres and I think this comes across in my DJ sets. I like to get the crowd going and create a real energy on the dance floor.

Sands is a great little beach bar in Playa Den Bossa owned by Carl Cox (or part owned, im not 100% sure), they host some great parties on the Beach, the party that gains the most publicity probably being Carl Coxes birthday which gets broadcast every year.

They have other parties all the time though and this is a night that attracted my attention. Nicole Moudaber Presents Mood Records Takeover. I dont think im aware of Nicole Moudaber, however her label (Mood records) is one that is being supported by a lot of Dj’s including Carl Cox. This part that caught my eye however, was Danny Tenaglia being on the line-up.

If you want to take part in a cool party on the beach, head down to Sands in PDB, entry is free at Sands and the party starts at 3pm
